How would I go about stopping the tein SS threads from rusting...I thought about spraying them with teflon? or some kinda spray clear sealant...ideas?

 

Clean and then soak them in WD-40 monthly.

 

Why dont you email Tein? I want to know also.

 

Hoping someone would have a good idea here.

 

Doesn't sound too painful.. or how about just wrapping the threads and coils in like a clear seran wrap? Sounds kind of ghetto, but it should keep out most water and save your teins.. you might encounter moisture probs still though, so spraying the threads w/ WD once a month and cleaning them doesnt sound like a bad idea..

 

ttt! any other coil over out there for this price? I will be using for the street like 99 percent of the time..and if I am lucky..i will get on a road corse..

 

I thought putting anti sieze on the them would stop them from rusting?

 

prolly.. Also Silicone lubricant..the spray can says it sticks to metal

 

its a shame that a company like tein wouldnt resolve their rusting and seizing issues... its not like they're cheap

 

I thought I read somewhere that the newer Tein's are teflon coated because of this known problem. Call up Tein maybe they can do something for you.

 

I'm interested to know also... I may be purchasing these in the near future...

 

the flex series and above is teflon coated...any model under that, SS, basic, is not teflon coated

 

good to kno...

 

I was curious also because I"m about to purchase some SS within the month. But if you guys said they are teflon coated it should be ok, hopefully.

 

jic's are stainless steel i believe

 

Why not just put anti seize (sp?) crap on them?

 

I second the anti sieze

 

You should be able to get rust prevent spray at any hardware store. Antisieze, teflon tape, etc...that should all be fine.

 

I heard teflon tape is bad..If moisture got under it... ya..

Anti rust spray, great idea!, thanks

You can add that in the box with the other thing

 

I coated mine with water resistant snowmobile grease from Napa. Seems to be a good protective coating.

 

Um get new springs. Go to youre nearest circle track and get springs, You need Stiffer ones anyway. New springs will cost $50each.

 

WTF are you talking about?

 

wtf tein's rust!!

 

GRACE!!! err I mean Grease.... Too much Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

 

someone mentioned lithium grease before, i dont know what that is, but its supposed to work.

Also, the higher end Teins come with a tube of special grease that is supposed to prevent rust. I could be wrong.
